"Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings" author Hapgood's classic book "Path
of the Pole" is back in print! Hapgood researchers Antarctica, ancient maps and the geological record to conclude that the Earth's crust has slipped in the inner core many time in the past, changing the position of the pole. The "Path of the Pole" discusses the various "pole shifts" in Earth's past, giving evidence for each one, and moves on to possible future pole shifts...
"...set[s] forth, cautiously and comprehensively, the extraordinary rich material that supports his displacement theory. I think that this rather astonishing, even fascinating, idea deserves the serious attention of anyone who concerns himself with the theory of the earth's development" ~ Albert Einstein, from the Foreword
